Found out I will not be and am just taking a compliance hit but now kind of feeling like I should leave if I feel that way
FSC, he didn't get fired. Only dinged, according to the above. Maybe a subpar rating.
OP, I left D in spite of high ratings and got a sizeable bump (>50%) to do less demanding work. So much validation.
Yeah, might be time to take the plunge. At least you'll know what you're actually worth. I struggle with that, always feeling like I'm a step behind the leaders. That said, even the 4th quintile at D is pretty strong compared to the general population.
They actually did not, I got a compliance hit because they do an audit of expenses forever to a random group per year, didn’t know you couldn’t expense health club while traveling with a gym membership as a monthly expense without prior partner approval (around 60/month, well below our 20/day that doesn’t need approval), and I have been doing that for more than four years without being told otherwise. Also had a slew of flight changes in there that were unapproved over the years, and they were another item included in the audit. So, my ignorance hurt me which is my fault but also feeling like I should have been reprimanded earlier
I as well am in tech, got a rad offer from a boutique firm a few months ago for a 20% raise, didn’t take it because I was afraid of change at the time and didn’t know if that city was where I saw my future. Now regretting it, hit them up again with hopes they will respond.
Went boutique. I'm in tech, btw.
Op - what was the reason they fired you ?
Whoa, I can't imagine being at the same place for 8 years.
There's a great big world out there!
M1 thank you! I am going to try to explore it anyway
Dd1, what boutique firm
Also recently left for almost a 30% bump, also in tech. No regrets.
OP, I'm in Salesforce, and went to Magnet 360, which is now a Mindtree company. Drop a burner if you'd like to hear more.
I always get”there’s” a cheaper option but not willing to to connect to 3 airports and travel for 18 hrs
DD1 thank you so much for your quick response. Kind of feeling in crisis tonight about it all. (Is a 30 year old crisis a thing?) also know you are always doing well if you are hanging in there and not being fired. You can do this, or have a come to moment like I am having now
Was local for first four years and then started traveling with no prior travel knowledge and made dumb assumptions
DD1 that is awesome! Did you end up in industry/startup/small firm or did you go to another big firm?
Wait you booked more dollars on flights then you should have and pinged you? That seems absurd. Did you tell them you couldn’t make other flight times?
OP, I am being audited now for two expense reports? Would you kindly explain how the process worked for you?
